Claire Carter: Live at The PACC with special guest Cherry Layne

Join us on August 16 for an intimate evening of original music featuring Claire Carter and special guest Cherry Layne.

Doors open at 7:00 PM, with the show beginning at 8:00 PM. Cherry Layne will open the evening before Claire Carter takes the stage for a powerful headlining performance.

As Claire prepares to release her second EP, Moon Child, audiences will hear brand-new music alongside selections from her debut EP, Spring Is Here. Moon Child is an intensely personal concept album exploring Claire's experiences with family, identity, and healing. Her music blends dreamy synth pop, gothic shoegaze, doom metal, and atmospheric textures into a cinematic sound that is both haunting and hopeful. Through layered guitars, immersive production, and deeply introspective lyrics, Claire creates a performance that is emotionally raw and unforgettable.

Opening the evening is Cherry Layne, traveling from the tropical South they call Florida. Cherry's music embraces vulnerability, exploring heartbreak, trauma, betrayal, and resilience through dreamy, haunting soundscapes.

The performance will feature debut singles "Prunus Serotina," "Dilemma," and the newest release, "DRIVE NORTH," from the upcoming EP, THE SPIRAL SUN.

Inspired by the poetry of Sylvia Plath, Cherry crafts songs that venture into emotional places many artists hesitate to explore. Their music journeys through darkness, loss, and self-discovery before emerging toward hope, inviting listeners to travel from the black into the blue.

Expect lush guitar textures, haunting vocals, cinematic soundscapes, and deeply personal songwriting throughout an evening that celebrates original music and fearless artistic expression.

Whether you're a fan of alternative pop, shoegaze, atmospheric indie, or simply enjoy discovering compelling new artists, this promises to be a one-of-a-kind night at The PACC.
